SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 529,921, dated November 2'7, 1894.

Application filed'May 17, 1394.

Be it known that I, GEORGE J. KRANSHAAR, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oilers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawlugs.

"This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in oilers and particularly to those used for oiling shafting, the following being such a full, clear and exactdescription of the invention as will enable those skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

The object of the invention is to produce an oiler having a sectional spout whereby shafting and bearings of varying heights may without the aid of a ladder be readily reached; furthermore, in producing an oiler provided with means for forcing the contents through the spout when retained in a vertical position.

The invention has for a still further object in the spout and for discharging the same when desired;

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction of an oiler that shall possess advantages in points Finally the invention consists in the various novel details of construction, arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and specifically pointed out in the claim.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specificatiomwherein like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views, in which Figure 1, is a view in side elevation of my improved oiler. Fig. 2, is a detail viewof a section of the spout showing the connections. Fig. 8, is a sectional view of a part of the spout showing the check valve and drain, and Fig. 4:, is an enlarged detail view of the pump valve and sucker.

In the drawings, 1, denotes the casing of the tank provided with a handle which is made hollow to receive a supplemental handle when Serial No; 511,555. (No modehl it is necessary to reach shafting of unusual height. The handle is also provided with a set screw 3, by which the supplemental handle is secured when adjusted.

The casing has secured on the side thereof a pump 4, communicatingwith the interior through the connecting pipe 5. The piston or sucker rod 6, works through the stufiing box 7, and is encircled by a coil spring by which it is held normally elevated with its end bifurcated to receive the lever 8, said lever being secured in a loop 8", on the spout (to be hereinafter referred to) and ending in a right angular lug to prevent its pulling out. The opposite end of the lever is provided with an operating rod 9, and chain 10, although the rod or chain may be dispensed with and any substitute therefor applied.

Leading from the tank is a spout 11, connected with the pump by the pipe 12. The spout consists of sections secured together by means of screw threads with the flanged collars 13, which are provided to form a tight joint and present a neat appearance as Well as to strengthen the said spout. The top of the spout 14, is angular to allow ready application to the oil-cup of the shafting. The angular end can be secured directly to the can dispensing with the intermediate sections, thus making an ordinary oiler when desired.

Interiorly the spoutis provided with avalve 15, which retains the oil in the spout, that by aslight working of thepump it may be forced out of the top.

The drain 16, connects the spout and can proper and is provided with a stop cook 17, that the oil may be drained from the spout when not in use; said drain being connected with the spout just above the valve.

It will be noted in view of the foregoing that various changes may be made in the detail construction of the device without departing from the general idea involved. For instance instead of having the sections of the spout formed as shown, they may be telescopically connected as will be apparent.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- In an oiler, the combination with the reservoir having an adjustable spout and a hollow handle to receive a supporting rod, a valve in the spout, a. drain leading from the spout ing a flexible connection by which it is oper- IO above the valve and communicating with the ated, as and for the purpose described. reservoir, a. stop cock in said drain, a pump In testimony whereoflaffix my signature in secured to the exterior of the reservoir and presence of two witnesses.
